But, even in the confusion, Mrs Rightbody
managed to speed a messenger to the tele-
graph Office for copy of the dispatch re-
eeived by Mr.. Rightbody, but now missing.
In the solitude of her own room, and with
out confdant, she read these words:

His last request was that you should remember
your sacred compact with him of thirty years ago.

''SEvENTy-FIvE."
In the darkened home, and amid the formal
condolements of their friends who had called
to gaze upon the scarcely cold features of
their late associate, Mrs. Rightbody managed
to send another dispatch 1t was addressed
to "Seventy-four and Seventy -fve," Cotton
wood. In few hours she received the fol-
lowing enigmatical response:
"a horse thief named Josh Silsbie was
lynched yesterday morning by the vigilantes
at Deadwood."

he had certainly kind face, despite its seri-
ousnes; and fine face, albeit unshorn and
weather beaten. Her own eyes bad never

lovers; and yet she had never seen 20 much
in even his. She slipped her hand away, not
with any reference to him, but rather to
ponder over this singular experience, and,
somehow, felt uncomfortable thereat.

ago that he had accepted the charge Of this
young woman from the elder guide, who was

guide, but had undertaken the task with that
chivalrous enthusiam which the average
Californian always extends to tho sex 30 rare
to him But tho illusion had passed; and he
had dropped into . sulky, practical sense Of
his situation, perhaps fraught with less
danger to himself. Only, when appealed to
by his manhood or her weakness, he had for
gotten his wounded vanity.
He strode moodily ahead, dutifully break
ing the path for her in the direction of the
distant canyon, where Mrs. Rightbody and
her friend awaited them. Miss Alios was
first to speak. In this trackless, uncharted

The case of John Birmingham against
DR.. Wood, in the Circuit Court of Wood
county, for personal damages, has been
settled by the payment of one dollar to
the plaintiff, each party to bear his own
costs. This practically amounts to a
withdrawal of the suit, and an acknowl-
edgement by the plaintiff that he had
no case against the doctor. Thus again
the schemes of mice and men glana a

himself young man of exceptionally
fine business abilities and is industrious
and enterprising to high degree. He
will gain the confidence and esteem of
his employers wherever he goes, and
we regret very much that the Leader

HALLOWEEN.

Girls, what does it mean? 1t
means a right old fashion bum
and heaps of fun, SO we are told,
by those who pretend to know. 1t
seems that about twenty of the
young ladies, ranging from 20 to
80 years of age, assembled at a
very proper place on High street
Monday evening, and comemora-
ted Halloween" in the old fash
ioned way. Everything was pre-
pared in secret, and all the essen
tials necessary for a candy pull
and such like was gathered. Of
course the young men knew moth
ing of this preparation. The girls
were in the midst Of enjoyment,
when some strangers made their
appearance, clad in white sheeting,
red mackinaw stockings and masks
on. This specticle was too much
for the young ladies, and shrek
after shrek, Wrent the air, SO that
the neighbors thought the adjoin-
ing house was haunted. On closer
examination it was found that the
young men were perfectly harmless
and we'll known. They were invit-
ed to join the festivities, which
they did.
A large cake had been prepared
for this occasion, containing a gold
ring. The young lady getting the
piece Of cake containing the ring
would certainly be married within
a year. 1t would be telling out of
school which of these young ladies
was the lucky one-but neverthe-
less we will say that she was not a
schoolmam. In preparing this
cake they had planned it so, that
the girl getting the ring would live
and die an old maid, Second
thought came to them, why we
have all passed the mile post of 25
years. This caused the change.
A great many gates about the
city were off their hinges. Mr..
Silber's awning rope was cut, and
other depraditions took place this
same evening. We wonder did
these young ladies SO forget them
selves that before separating they
performed these different feats.
We hold them guiltless until proven
guilty by Justice Woodworth's
court.

A SwindlIng Scheme.

Farmers should be on their guard
against two oily rascals, who are abroad
in the land, and may endeavor to prey.
upon them. One claims to be gathering
crop statistics, while the other has re
monstrance against high taxation. The
object is to secure the signature of the
farmers to papers which afterwards
turn up at the banks as promisary
notes Those farmers who fail to keep
posted by reading the newspapers are of
course the victims. These scoundels
who are going about the country look
ing for victims whom they may swindle
would as soon think of monkeying with
buzz-saw while it is in motion as to
tackle farmer who reads the newspa-
pers and try to swindle him. State
